In this episode, we look at the book Come As You Are: The Surprising New Science that Will Transform Your Sex Life by Emily Nagoski, and discuss the idea that libido isn't a simple drive toward sex, but rather a combination of "accelerators" and "brakes" that either drive us toward sexual engagement or inhibit sexual desire. We also take the accelerators and brakes test, talk about how the idea is interesting but the book has weaknesses in its exploration of accelerators and brakes, and discuss our own complicated sex drives.
